Movie Night: "Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani"

Wednesday the 6th of March at 6:15pm we will be doing a movie night watching “Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani”. In case you didn’t know: Mirzakhani was the first female Fields Medalist. The event will take place in room 2.025 in the Computer Science Institute. There will be drinks at cost price and free popcorn! We will start the movie once everyone has gotten popcorn and drinks. 

Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani

To celebrate the May 12 Initiative — which marks Maryam Mirzakhani’s birthday and highlights her mathematical contributions — we will screen Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani. The documentary presents her work on Riemann surfaces and moduli spaces, tracing her path from her early years to becoming the first woman to receive the Fields Medal.

Mathematical Visions on Loop

On May 12, the screens in the atriums of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Coimbra will continuously display the films “Je suis Sophie Germain / I Am Sophie Germain” and “Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani,” in celebration of the International Day of Women in Mathematics.
